Default Write up for C5 Clutch swap?

I know its essentially the same once the trans is off but is there a write up out there on how to drop the torque tube and diff. assy?

Let us know if you find something! So far I give the keys to the shop and bend over.

THis is a pretty good guide. I downloaded the word document on the clutch install without a problem. I'm in the middle of changing everything right now, again after the first new clutch pooped. nothing like a manufacturing issue to do it all again!

I was wondering if any one knew the throw or distance the slave stock c5 clave cylinder travles with the stock master cylinder.

No clue on how far the slave travels but I found that write up too. Dropping the whole trans/rear seems like quite a bit of work but the perfect time to install a DTE brace!

If I remmeber correctly its 6 bolts to drop the subframe. Then just undo the brake lines above the setupand the wiring as needed (all the trans and diff wiring)
